HÄT 8033 Napoleonic British Dragoons
HÄT 8014 King's German Legion Light Dragoons.
As described by Alfred Umhey in the box comment, the figures of 8033 may easily be alterated into the different Regiments of Dragoons and Dragoon Guards from 1813 on, and also into Life Guards for the 1812/14 period.
8014 KGL Light Dragoons can be painted as British Light Dragoons as well.


At Waterloo during the attack of the British Union Brigade the eagle of the French 105th regiment of the line had been seized by a corporal of the 1st Royal Dragoons whereas Sergeant Ewart of the Royal North British Dragoon Guards ("Scots Greys") captured the eagle of the French 45th line infantry.

Information concerning flags.

With regard to various 1/72 British Napoleonic cavalry sets available, flags for british horse troops are included in the Waterloo ROFUR-FLAGS series despite the fact that British cavalry did not carry any of their standards at Waterloo!

British cavalry regiments carried 1 flag (standard) per squadron. In some regiments there was a "King´s standard" for the 1st squadron and "regimental guidons" for the others.

The standard was carried by a sergeant, covered by a corporal (Wellington´s Light Cavalry, Bryan Fosten, Osprey Men at Arms Nr. 126). When the squadron was deployed in two ranks, the standard´s position was in the middle of the front rank .

Flag-staves seemed to have been natural wood colour and topped by a gilded spearhead. Cords and tassels were mixed gold and red.
